CHEF’S SECRET
For an optimal taste experience, choose a medium or dark roast coffee for a robustness that contrasts with the sweetness of maple syrup.
Once cooked, let your flan cool to room temperature for about 20 minutes before placing in the refrigerator. This will help maintain a silky texture.
Serve each flan with a small dollop of homemade whipped cream and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. If you want to add a bit of crunch, a few caramelized pecans will do the trick!
If you are serving this flan for a special occasion, try pairing it with a glass of ice wine or a Québécois ice cider. The combination of flavours is simply divine.
Once cooled, the flan will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to cover them to preserve their freshness and flavour.
